Pennsylvania Supremes Laugh At Constitution With Mail-In Decision — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, yesterday (Aug. 2), declared that mail-in voting as per Act 77 is allowed under the state Constitution.
The vote was 5-2 with all Democrats voting yes and the Republicans dissenting.
Here’s the wording regarding absentee voting in the State Constitution:
§ 14. Absentee voting.
(a) The Legislature shall, by general law, provide a manner
in which, and the time and place at which, qualified electors
who may, on the occurrence of any election, be absent from the
municipality of their residence, because their duties,
occupation or business require them to be elsewhere or who, on
the occurrence of any election, are unable to attend at their
proper polling places because of illness or physical disability
or who will not attend a polling place because of the observance
of a religious holiday or who cannot vote because of election
day duties, in the case of a county employee, may vote, and for
the return and canvass of their votes in the election district
in which they respectively reside.
Either our Supreme Democrats are illiterate or they just don’t care about the rule of law.
The process for amending the Pennsylvania Constitution requires approval in consecutive legislative sessions followed by a referendum. A law like Act 77 doesn’t suffice.
When judges say round is square and black is white and can’t tell the difference between men and women, whitecaps are on the water.
The case decided was Doug McLinko vs Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of State et al. No. J-18A-2022, J-18B-2022, J-18C-2022, J-18D-2022, and J-18E-2022
Red wave is coming!
Hope that it is stronger than the blue wave of phony mail in ballots like in 2020 that is coming as well, thanks to the PA Supreme Court.
“Either our Supreme Democrats are illiterate or they just don’t care about the rule of law.”
I would say that both those options are true. And they are true for every level court justices. It is frightening how judges and lawyers are unaware of the law. Remember, judges are chosen from the pool of lawyers. And usually it is the least successful lawyers in private practice who vie for the position of judge.
I think William Shakespeare said it best in his play, Henry VI, Part 2, when the character, Dick the Butcher, states, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
It is offered as the best feature imagined of yet for utopia.
A very rough and simplistic modern translation would be “When I’m the King, there’ll be two cars in every garage, and a chicken in every pot” “AND NO LAWYERS”. (Wikipedia)
I must concur. My experience with our court system leads me to the same conclusion.
